Vanves: where treasures await

Pop up at the Vanves metro stop on the weekend and you’ll find 300 flea market stall holders nonchalantly awaiting your browse-by. Be aware they all close down around 1 p.m. I like the scene here, the small scale, the neighborhoody feel, the expectation of getting a bargain. Expect to discover vintage clothing, ceramics, jewelry, war memorbilia, art deco, photography, paintings, fabric, lace, dolls. glassware, books, 50s and 60s curios, old magazines, furniture, toys and that perfect trinket to bring home and remember your trip to Paris.
